I'm Attending!September 03, 2017September 07, 2018Full Stack Fest 2018UTCFull Stack Fest 2018: The Web is back!
A single-track, curated, deeply technical web development event featuring the best speakers and industry leaders worldwide. From the depths of infrastructure & services to the shiny, new features & api's of modern browsers. In Barcelona.
Are you joining us on this new adventure? Here's some of the topics we'd like to see:
## **What are we looking for?**
The world is changing, and so are software paradigms.
On one hand, the extraordinary growth of the Internet over the last years is putting our architectures under high pressure and that has created the need for tools and technologies that help us manage that complexity - Docker,Kubernetes, Serverless, and so on have been part of the solution, to name a few. On the other hand, people are becoming increasingly aware of their privacy and there's a pull towards a more decentralized web that's less friendly to those who might be tempted to use it for their own good. Blockchains or other technologies like IPFS and Dat are the heat of the day, but they've yet to gain attention from the general user market.
At the same time, browsers have become more powerful than ever. Frameworks of all flavors are flourishing while we see more and more Web APIs such as Web Payment Request or Hardware interaction being implemented and drafted, marking a clear path into the future. With the imminent adoption of Service Workers and Progressive Web App capabilities by all the major desktop & mobile browsers, the web has the potential to become a replacement to the native app markets.
We, as developers, are trying to navigate these waters and keep a look into the future while trying to keep our own ships afloat. Currents change fast and we have to be prepared.
We need people like you to talk about the challenges, technologies and ideas about what’s to come in software and the Web. Submit your talk!
## **More information**
There's a total of 32 speakers at the event (distributed equally between the backend and frontend days) and the final speaker selection is a mix of invited speakers and those who come from the call for papers, the latter being the vast majority of them. Talks are 30 minutes long, plus a short interview afterwards with the MC (no questions asked directly by the public). Barcelona, Spain
